Thanks again for the response,
I don't like this one as much either *sigh*. Yes, they DO want upbeat upbeat upbeat and so it's a little hard for me because I have to over-rule my basic music instincts to produce what they like. It's an interesting challenge.
This soundtrack has been an interesting experience for me. I'm not particularly fond of the style in general, but it's been fun to flex my musical muscles in a different direction and try to keep my own personal feel going at the same time. My ideal ensemble is orchestra with elements of electronics; in the style of people like Cris Velasco and Sascha Dikicyian (sp.) who make some absolutely fascinating soundtracks.
So I guess, in the mind of Marius, Spectraball lines up as a foray into the OTHER end of the ensemble spectrum, which will give me more practise in blending this kind of stuff into my more mainstream works. We'll have to wait and hear.
Thanks for the comments
